La Trattoria del Marinaio In Messina

you eat very well and the place is very nice, congratulations on the combination

Excellent value for money. The attentive service was much appreciated, along with careful attention to detail in the dishes and ingredients. The atmosphere was pleasant and right on the beach. Reasonable prices; the only drawback is that parking is difficult to find.

Great experience. I'll definitely go back when I go home on vacation. I've always gone to Forza d'Agrò, but having a restaurant so close to home is really convenient. The staff and owner are truly polite and kind.

The ingredients were good, but they lacked a bit of flavor and were a bit too oily. In my opinion, the staff could use a little more friendliness and less formality. The space is large, but I still think the veranda lounge needs some redecorating.

The food was all in all not bad but the quantity of the dishes in the portions was really very small. And above all, the rush from one dish to another was truly a race between those who had to eat and the waiters who brought new dishes. Never a break, never the time to savour the dishes.

Very friendly, helpful, and professional staff Spaghetti with clams DIVINE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Comfortable atmosphere, fresh and excellent food, and the wait staff is truly friendly. Fast and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

Truly an excellent experience. Delicious food, carefully prepared and of excellent quality. The staff was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the service, making us feel immediately at ease. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. I recommend this place to everyone and will definitely be back.

If you love real fresh fish, treated with respect and great expertise, this seafood trattoria is a must-visit. Probably the best fish I've ever eaten in the entire province: excellent, incredibly fresh ingredients, carefully selected, and meticulously crafted. Special praise goes to the chef, a highly talented professional with a gastronomic sensibility, already recognized and celebrated several times by the industry press. Her cuisine manages to enhance each ingredient with balance, flavor, and refinement, allowing the seafood to be the true protagonist of the dish. I really can't say which dish is my favorite; everything was truly delicious! Every course reflects passion, experience, and love for the region. The service was very friendly and expert, and a special thanks to the manager who recommended an excellent wine and described the dishes with patience and precision. The atmosphere was authentic and the quality was evident from the first to the last bite. Sincere compliments to the entire staff, who work in synergy with great skill and preparation. The guy at the cashier is super friendly, and they really make you feel at home. A Messina province excellence that deserves to be known and appreciated. I'll definitely be back!

A spacious restaurant with a view of the Strait, but the view is limited in the cold season due to the covered roof, but we did feel a bit chilly. The service staff immediately took notice of us as a couple, and after a while, our order arrived. The appetizers, first courses, and fried food were all absolutely delicious and plentiful. I recommend the appetizer and first course menu or the appetizer and second courses menu. The zeppola offered for the feast of St. Joseph was very welcome. Update May 2026 I confirm the quality and abundance of the meals, the friendly and fast service, truly excellent. I'm upgrading the overall rating to 5 stars because, despite the events being held in a large room, the quality of the service and the wait were excellent. The fried food, delicious, had a delicate flavor, and the smell of fried oil was completely absent.
